Laputa City.
Big funnel, luxurious banquet hall on the top floor.
The entire venue was in complete chaos, with all kinds of discussions rising one after another.
"Oh my God! I think these people must be crazy to do such an inhumane thing. On behalf of the Rockefeller family, I strongly condemn these people!"
At a table in the front row of the venue, the highly respected old Rockefeller, with a look of indignation on his face, spoke to the guests at the same table in a serious tone.
"I agree with David. Emerald Isle has made important contributions to the world's technological development and should never suffer such unfair treatment. The Mellon family will always stand with Emerald Isle!" Thomas Mellon, who was standing aside, also spoke with an indignant expression on his face.
Led by the two, other guests at the table also spoke up to express their indignation.
Just like that, after a short while, all the guests present expressed their positions.
That is, we are willing to stand together with Emerald Island to jointly deal with the harassment from external forces.
On the other side, after seeing the performance of everyone present, Jiang Cheng, who was standing on the stage, smiled slightly in his heart. It seemed that the main purpose of his live performance this time had been achieved.
In fact, to Jiang Cheng, he never took this invading small fleet seriously from beginning to end.
What he values most is the direction of world public opinion.
In the beginning, the surrounding hostile forces and organizations did not directly show hostility towards Emerald Island, which allowed them to remain in the dark and make changes to Emerald Island, causing great damage to its reputation.
Even if Jiang Cheng wanted to fight back, he couldn't find the target.
But now everything is different!
At a time when Emerald Island is about to have a significant impact on the world through this science and technology expo, those opponents hidden in the dark finally couldn't help but show their fangs!
They wanted to kill the Emerald Island's rise in one fell swoop through the worst possible means, killing, but they didn't expect that Jiang Cheng had already known all this.
Thus, a situation that should have been a disaster was transformed into an opportunity!
If Jiang Cheng can make good use of it, not only can he completely eliminate the previous adverse effects on Emerald Island, but he can also allow Emerald Island to occupy the moral high ground. From then on, no matter what kind of military actions Emerald Island takes or how much large-scale military power it builds, it will not be easily condemned.
In some ways, this is what Jiang Cheng has been looking forward to.
When building Emerald Island in the very beginning, Jiang Cheng knew the importance of military strength, but he was always very cautious about it. He even maintained zero military strength for a long time, for fear of stimulating an overreaction from surrounding forces, which would cause Emerald Island to be labeled a military thorn.
If that were the case, then from now on, if Emerald Island wanted to develop its military strength, its every move would be put under the microscope by the world, making it extremely difficult.
But now, everything is different.
Emerald Island is now in a relatively weak position and has long been harassed by external forces, which has had a great impact on its name and reputation.
And the fleet invasion just now will make this weak situation reach its highest peak in history!
Because, the Emerald Island, which has always been admired and loved by the world, is no longer just suffering from harassment, but is facing a bloody massacre!
If such a terrible situation were to become known, it is almost foreseeable that the whole world would sympathize with Emerald Island, making Emerald Island completely at the top of public opinion.
In this way, public opinion around the world will inevitably lean towards Emerald Island, and those hostile forces and media, if they still want to launch public opinion attacks on Emerald Island, they will probably no longer be able to stand!
This result is exactly what Jiang Cheng has been dreaming of.
As long as he has the support of public opinion, he can then let go and do his best without having to worry about pressure from surrounding forces.
Because, under such circumstances, no matter what Emerald Island does, it will get the support of world public opinion!
This is the power of "momentum"!
Whoever can gain the "momentum" will have absolute dominance!
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that this fleet must be dealt with first.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng raised his hands, coughed lightly, and signaled everyone present to be quiet.
Seeing Jiang Cheng's gesture, all the guests present fell silent and looked at Jiang Cheng.
"I'm sure everyone has seen that this is a fully armed fleet, heading straight for Emerald Island. The situation is extremely critical. However, the reason why I am showing this news to everyone through the live broadcast is actually just to let everyone bear witness."
Jiang Cheng spoke in a low voice, his face full of solemn expression.
"For a long time, some hostile forces in the surrounding area have always been deeply hostile to the existence of Emerald Island. This can be seen from the frequent attacks on Jiang's shipping in recent months. Emerald Island has always remained tolerant. However, this is not because we are afraid, but because we do not want to provoke regional disputes and ultimately cause irreparable consequences."
"But now, Emerald Island does not want to tolerate it any longer, because this time, as many as 400,000 civilians and tourists are about to be attacked. This is an absolutely unacceptable atrocity!"
"Therefore, in the name of the owner of Emerald Island, I hereby announce that from today on, Emerald Island will officially embark on the path of developing military strength. We will take up our weapons to protect the interests of tourists and civilians who come here from being harmed!"
Jiang Cheng's declaration was passionate and powerful. As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause!
Undoubtedly, all the guests present expressed their full support for the decision made by Jiang Cheng!
Seeing the warm atmosphere in the venue, Jiang Cheng's expression remained unchanged, but he became slightly excited inside.
Now, all the superficial things have been done, and the play can almost be declared over.
Next, it’s time to launch a formal counterattack!
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng took advantage of the applause in the venue and pressed the remote control in his hand.
In an instant, the scene on the live broadcast screen changed again!
The picture that appeared at this time was a huge port scene with bright lights!
Under the towering tower, dazzling gas flashlights lit up, illuminating the entire port scene clearly!
In the harbor, there were modern and powerful warships lying across the sea, and rows of neatly-dressed naval soldiers, holding guns, standing on the deck.
There was no sound of talking in the entire harbor, only the rumbling sounds of the rolling waves.
When such an overwhelming battle scene was shown through the live broadcast, all the guests present could not help but freeze in their tracks...
Some people even opened their eyes wide and mouths agape, unable to close them for a long time, and the shock in their eyes was revealed without reservation.
Oh my god!
What did I see
This is... the Emerald Isle's naval fleet
